A little bit belated, but as promised during the session, I just uploaded
my slides from the talk 6 essential PHP development tools in 60 minutes.
Since there is so much to say I actually managed to get 4,5 tools through
and for all of these it felt to be too few time. I think I should provide
a workshop for the next conferenceTobias SchlittWed, 19 Nov 2008 22:29:46 +0000Human support and feature requests at Xinghttp://schlitt.info/opensource/blog/0596_human_support_and_feature_requests_at_xing.html
I like Xing. I actually like some of the social networks, although I think
there are far to many of them. However, Xing is useful to me for keeping
my address book updated by my business contacts themselves and to be
up2date about who is doing what. Nice! I'm also a "premium" (in the sense
of paying) user in Xing. On the one hand because that gives me some nice
additional features and safes me from advertisement. On the other one
because I think paying for a good online service is a good idea.Tobias SchlittWed, 19 Nov 2008 22:29:46 +0000Using Gmails spamhttp://schlitt.info/opensource/blog/0589_using_gmails_spam.html
Since I maintain my own server for web, mail and some other services, I do
not use my Gmail account much. I originally created the account just by
curiosity for their UI and now use it to log into other Google services
and occasionally if I need a different account than one of my main ones.
What I like about Gmail is, that it seems to have a quite good spam
filter. In the past half year about 10 spams got through to my inbox,
while more than 900 were filtered into the spam folder (in the past 30
days, if you believe Gmail).Tobias SchlittWed, 19 Nov 2008 22:29:46 +0000Tool recommendation: Exailehttp://schlitt.info/opensource/blog/0587_tool_recommendation_exaile.html
After I already recommended a software tool in my blog yesterday, I'd like
to continue recommending good tools. This time it is Exaile, a greate
music player and collection management tool.Tobias SchlittWed, 19 Nov 2008 22:29:46 +0000Claiming my bloghttp://schlitt.info/opensource/blog/0586_claiming_my_blog.html
This post is just to claim my blog on Technorati. I'm pretty sure you can
ignore this as a reader of my blog. ;) Sorry for the noise!Tobias SchlittWed, 19 Nov 2008 22:29:46 +0000Tool of the year: ii (irc it)http://schlitt.info/opensource/blog/0585_tool_of_the_year_ii_irc_it.html
Via James Pic I just got to know the fantastic tool irc it (short ii).
ii is a very simple and slick designed IRC client, that works on the Linux
/ Unix shell. ii simlpy uses the file system to structure IRC connections,
channels and queries and offers FIFOs to communicate with the server. It
allows you to write IRC bots in bash (or any other language that allows
file access) with a glimpse and my mind already imagines a huge ton of
possible applications. My first test showed that it works really cool!
Amazingly cool tool and therefore in the sense of BitlBee (yes, I skipped
a year ;) my tool of the year (so far).Tobias SchlittWed, 19 Nov 2008 22:29:46 +0000eZ Components and GIThttp://schlitt.info/opensource/blog/0583_ez_components_and_git.html
James Pic wrote a little article on how you can import the eZ Components
SVN into your local GIT installation. This way you can stick to your
favorite version controll system and don't need to use SVN much if you
want to try out the latest features in eZ Components and use GIT as your
favorite version conroll system.Tobias SchlittWed, 19 Nov 2008 22:29:46 +0000Major update for spamdyke on Gentoo howtohttp://schlitt.info/opensource/blog/0582_major_update_for_spamdyke_on_gentoo_howto.html
I recently migrated my server to a new maschine and a new provider. After
supporting Kore today with installing spamdyke on his maschine, too, I
seized the chance to update my Spam Filtering with Spamdyke in front of
Qmail howto on the wiki. The howto describes how to install the most
recent version of spamdyke on a Gentoo system, explains the most important
configuration options and gives some practical hints for such setups. You
can ask Kore, it only takes about 10 minutes to do so ;) and saves you a
huge lot of spam. Comments and addtions are very welcome.Tobias SchlittWed, 19 Nov 2008 22:29:46 +0000What Firefox tells you about yourselfhttp://schlitt.info/opensource/blog/0580_what_firefox_tells_you_about_yourself.html
Judith posted about a funny experiment: Try to enter each letter of the
alphabet into your browsers (I guess - or hope - most of you use Firefox,
but most other browsers also support autocompletion) and collect the
website it suggests first. This is most probably the website you visit
most, starting with the specific letter. So, here is my list:Tobias SchlittWed, 19 Nov 2008 22:29:46 +0000Professional-PHP Online Training by DWPhttp://schlitt.info/opensource/blog/0568_professional_php_online_training_by_dwp.html
